Do NOT Raise the Minimum Wage. (Wisconsin)

     There has been debate on this topic for a while now about the minimum wage and it looks like Wisconsin is taking action on the topic. The state of Wisconsin has decided that within the next few months or so, they will raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. That's great and all but please state, take into account that there aren't jobs for everyone here in the state because a lot of them have been outsourced to other countries. Not only that but, the state cannot handle this kind of shifts also because there has been a nerf, a huge cut down on the foodshare programs in Wisconsin (Foodstamps, Questcard, ect.) to where I found myself a little paper stating that questcard/foodshare amounts have been cut drastically, from once every month to only three months through a period of thirty-six months; that means you receive only three months worth of food money from the government for a time of three years. So, in conclusion I do not think that we are ready for the wage shift.
     Another reason as to why this isnt a good thing to do is because if you think in terms of domino effects, one toppling another over another and so on, it works like this to a sense. Let me give you my prediction on what might go on: Wage gets raised to $15/hr, State economy has to make up for the raise in wage they have to pay employees, Employees get laid off and become unemployed to keep the prices of things low. (or) age gets raised to $15/hr, State economy has to make up for the raise in the wage they have to pay employees, all the prices raise from production costs and the money they need to keep the employees employed... I see this as a domino effect to some sense.
     The ones who will take the most impact of the change in wage are those who will become laid off or those who are already unemployed. Imagine being laid off because no one can afford to keep you employed, or you are a small business owner trying to buy more stock but cannot buy it because the prices went through the roof. It leaves the state up for grabs by monopolies, it starves the starving, and it makes it harder for those who are just getting into the job field to get hired. The reason why I say it will become harder for those who are unemployed is because if they take into account my little silly prediction, it will become harder to find a job, pay for any food that they may need to purchase or anything else, and do just about anything anymore.
     I do not think that its a good idea to raise the minimum wage because the minimum wage is not a living wage; yes you might get more for your hours, if you aren't cut off from them, but prices will follow. No matter what the wage seems to do, it will not go above the poverty line we so wish to surpass. If the wage follows but everything else rises because the government doesnt know how to take care of the economy the way that it should, nothing will change but the prices and not for the better. To me, its not a good idea to raise minimum wage to where it will be. Please, someone, think of the consequences with me.

Stupid - Using Scare Tactics

     I think it is absolutely ridiculous. Everything and everybody these days are using scare tactics into scaring up followers, customers, viewers, you name it. The Media is a BIG one. We fall victim to it everyday. Yahoo!News features all sorts of scare tactic material from one edge of your computer/phone screen to the other. You can fill a page full of stories they have listed for miles on end, scroll down, and it would still take a day to cover it all. It is just too much, and it is getting on my nerves! I know I am not the only one who noticed this already, I was not the first and I will not be the last. All they do is talk about everything that the Media thinks is scary enough to be announced on the news. 
     They feature crimes done that the average citizen would count as racism, like the Trayvon Martin case. That case was unjustly and I will be hated on because, I am simply telling the truth that it was a waste of time and it was just clearly defense. People will think I am racist if I do not agree with them. People thought it was racist and still do even though it is not exactly white on black either, but oh well. Read about it yourself for fuck's sake. 
     The news also features things that can be counted as a war start. For example, the past months prior to now, there was North Korea whining like a baby and going to throw missiles. Now it is with Syria and them acting like children and threatening to throw missiles. Once there is something about war popping up, they scare the citizens by not including the actual details on why it might start. I think they have a fear that the citizens will think it is a waste of time and money, like I think it is. 
     The news also will feature some stuff about celebrities, usually getting divorces. If it is not about a divorce they have destructive posts about hoe they dressed and how it was too racy, too revealing, too ridiculous, and they will call it fashion when it looks like a parrot put it together instead. They purposely put celebrities out on the spot and make their life worse, while making other girls think they will look worse if they do not look like them. They put up false hopes and end up looking like the most disturbingly dressed people at my school, or those who are outside begging for change to get 5 pounds of eyeliner and more fake hair. I feel bad for the horses, but that is besides the point. They are making females feel insecure by putting up celebrities at their worst and they know they will follow them, or laugh.
     They had just started to feature things on the news that are cute and cuddly and distracting, but it is just like the devotion class at my other school. They give an hour in that lecture hall and 55 minutes out of 60 they tell you how bad you are and how much of a sinner you are and you will go to hell if you look at them wrong. The last 5 minutes out of the 60 are used for telling you that God loves you and you get to go to heaven. They did this everyday. This is why I left that religion. This is why I do not watch TV anymore too. They use scare tactics for 90% of the time and then at the very end or in the middle they will use a comic relief and show you something cute. I think it is to confuse the viewer into thinking the show is not such a bad show. They do a good job because people still tend to watch and get upset and frustrated and all that wonderful stuff, then they get hit in the face with a kitten who can not keep its head up from exhaustion of being stupid all day. 
    You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I tried it and it is true too. I got a lot of flies and my room was swarmed. I hated it but, at least the flies got stuck in the honey and died. Stupid flies. Nothing is free.
    I still think the scare tactics are ridiculous. Try NOT doing that shit and let people come on their own, do not scare them into coming and following you. That's dumb. You sure as hell are not getting my vote.

Upset at Things - The Last Thing We Need...

     The last thing we need is another fucking war involving the United States and some country. I do not know too much on this but all I know is that there are warships heading over to Syria, and this whole thing is a complete waste of time. We just came out of a war with Afghanistan and here we are going to war with Syria. What is this shit?
     How about we stop worrying about other countries and stop being a police ward for the world and worry about our own country for a change? Do they want us to go into a terrible recession? Do they want the Great Depression to start up again? I sure as hell do not want this. Am I the only one even at this age to be able to see that we just do not need any more commotion? Am I mature enough to see that this is a waste of time? People would think I am crazy for thinking like that but one thing... I am starting to notice that I am not the only one in the world now to see just what is going on.
     It isn't just the United States doing this on its own I know that, but Syria causing it. We just took it a little far and started to take action. I have a feeling this is just how North Korea was acting. We told them not to use nuclear weapons and there goes Syria acting like the North Korean leader, and starting to ignore things and threaten like a child threatening to go into a tantrum if they do not get that candy bar on the shelf. I think this is all quite childish but, I guess presidents, leaders, kings, ect. just like to act like children and play monopoly with the world. We do not need this right now. How do we not have national leaders that act like theyre grown ass adults? I could have elected a 3rd grader and still would have got better results with the countries.
     They act like we just have another planet to go to and live on, and this one is for playing and practicing your aim with missiles.  They act like if a nuclear bomb goes off that we wont all breathe it in eventually. They act like this will all just go away if they hurt one part of the world. Do they think it will just evaporate into space and not harm a space creature? It wont get there in the first place but, children like to act without thinking. Taking that candy bar will get you into trouble. Throwing a tantrum will get you the candy bar but it will give you a bad stomach ache and maybe some missing teeth, and might make you think that throwing a tantrum will get you anything, when really its just a cry wolf. Asking might just be the way to go but, I do not see any leader asking or being secluded for once. How about we ignore leaders who threaten this nonsense? If you ignore a child for along enough they will learn it is not going to get them anywhere.
     We just need to stop and look and see what will happen if one piece goes where. Will the puzzle piece fit or will it just cause a nuclear war? How about we think about it first? We do not need this.

Me - I am against Amnesty

     You can call me a loser all you want to, but I am against Amnesty and I have been for a long time. You can tell me to get out of here all you want to, but I am still going to be against it anywhere I go. It is my opinion and my own little fact about myself.
     Amnesty definition basically, in simple terms, means being pardoned from an offence, such as a doing something wrong while in political status and being pardoned because you can pretty much bribe with your politically earned money. Another example, the one I am looking at mostly, is being pardoned from being in the country without correct earned papers.
     Amnesty is plaguing the country of the United States like the Swine Flu and is spreading as contagious as the SARS virus. It itself is like a cancerous disease. It is like the old but true tactic of "Monkey see, monkey do" that as far as I know, only children should follow.
     There are just too damn many people coming into this country illegally and getting away with it. It is almost like a roach come into your house and you deciding to let it house itself in your pantry, let it eat your food and taint it, letting it have thousands of creepy little children, and you just let them all take over your own little house. Not so pleasant sounding now is it? I am not of any descent of intrusion like that unless you would like to count against me the European heritage. Then again, I am made up of nine races total. You can pick at me for that all you want to. Your criticism can not change how I see things, and what I see happen to others.
     I am not really a fan of unwanted guests getting what they want for free. It is like stealing. Also along those lines, not to be specific on the race or call out anyone at all, but I shall refer to the government wanting to change the national language. They want to change the national language because of the immigration rates are so high with those speaking Spanish. I, being against amnesty, and being born in the wretched, trashed-up America we have today, do not approve. I know a good bit of people also who are right in the same seat as I am. The seat we are sitting on it getting quite crowded too, and it might break. We do not like when intruders come in and change every damn thing. I feel as bad as my Native heritage did when my European heritage came in and changed everything. I also feel as bad as when my African heritage was changed by my European heritage too.
     Stop Amnesty. I do not want to see my born language change before my eyes. I do not want my ancestors lying down as they did before. I have no Hispanic heritage in me, and I hope that it wont happen from an over-population and force to change from the Hispanic side. I do not hate a race and I do not favor, but I will be one to fight against Amnesty. Even if I was in their situation, being an immigrant, I would still try my best to change to that place's standards. I would not try to change them, and I would listen. I respect that they are a country nice enough to let me in, and I strive to be happy among other happy people in their native lands. If I am going to be an immigrant in another country, the least I can do is know that I went there on my own will and even if by force, I will try to be able to communicate properly.
     I have run into too fucking many illegals in this country, and what can I do about this? I have to sit my ass down and watch these people who can not speak a lick of English come into my life and get free shelter that could be used for an actual citizen, health care that could be better off in the hands of some citizen who can spell the words 'Health Care'. They get free money that a lot of us people could really use, and not have to suffer on below-minimum wage. They also get to repopulate and keep their children even if in high numbers and they are counted legal for being born. This place is not an incubator for intruders, and it is definitely not the proper means to have a child. Imagine being the child of an immigrant couple and in America. Can you imagine being told (even though they don't), "You were brought into this world to keep us in this country. You are pretty much a ticket. Thank you son/daughter for letting me use you for free stuff." It's like damn... are you serious?
     I am personally a fan of a page on Facebook even, and it is called "Stop Amnesty" and here is a link if you want to like it too.  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Amnesty/412627778833810?fref=ts
     I hope you can understand and if you are against Amnesty too, just know you surely are not alone.

Random Post #3 - My common dreams

     My wish for my future is to be an artist... maybe more. I want to try to be a lot of different things because I have several talents. Most of the time I feel I wont go anywhere at all with my skills and my dreams. A lot of my dreams and my main dream is one of the most common and most looked upon. I wish to be an artist, commissioned, but a lot of people wish to join the field of arts. Arts are not just consisting of drawing, painting, and sculptures. Arts can also include anything at all that is creative and using your right brain. Dance is an art. Theater is an art, it is acting, actors and common. Singing is an art. Band skills whether it be sheet music writing, playing an instrument, and even without being in a band, it is still an art. Poetry is an art along with writing in general. It can be from poems, to short stories, to novellas, to novels, to tomes upon tomes of writing but yet still, it is an art. We all knows drawing and painting, sculpture, carvings, printmaking, blue printing, interior and exterior design of any and everything is also an art. Everything that is made with your mind creatively with your own thought is an art. Now, who can tell me that they have no art skills in them at all? Not a single one... It is rare.
     I have the simple little talents I have involving all of the art types listed. I can do any and all art forms with a fair and/or exceptional ease. There is one problem though. I like to do a lot of my stuff by myself and with my own materials and such that I obtain. Everything I love to do most in art forms are made by my own two hands. Not a lot of people like to have such effort put into their art unless they are like my type of people, who like to work for their recognition. This is a problem to me because of the fact that a LOT of people like to do more digital art and editing than doing their own stuff. Copyright is a problem sometimes with people who like this kind of art. I have a good feeling I will go nowhere in life all because I love to do things that wont involve 'cheating' with the computer. With a lot of computer generated stuff, it seems to be effortless. I have done computer art before and I just do not like it that much. It is becoming even more favorable though because of the rise in technology advancement. Where am I to fit in if I do the same old 'pencil and paper' tactics? Where will us 'workers' fit in within this art business? I really wish to become an artist, but at this technological phase I am stuck in competition with, what will I do with my dream?

Random Post #2 - Blogging Tips

Blogging tips-

Even though I am just starting to become a blogger myself, I have noticed a few thing I do for blogging and a bit of what others do when they go about blogging too.

Maybe one thing that most people if not all do, is write freely... what more can a blogger do? Do not be a robot or you might not end up as unique as you truly are when it comes to searching your topic on Google, and finding out that thousands have written about the SAME thing, maybe even with a chance of them having the same words as you do.

Another thing is, do not rely on having to make paragraphs and paragraphs of content, it is not essential to have a good blog. I can go about writing a few words here and there of thoughts about a topic and people that have a history or not reading a lot at a time will appeal to your stuff. I myself tend to write a bit in one post, only because when I write, I just go off into writing a lot more then intended about that topic.

Looking over others' blogs can help you get a better understanding about what might be going on today or what has gone on last week. Some people go and write about News that has shown today, News that has been in the past, opinions and tips about what to do in certain situations, even about their favorite goldfish "Fluffle-Puff Squishy Face" or something cute. Once you decide what you might want to blog about, whether it be about your mom, society, job fields, trials and errors, or even your pet goldfish, take it and run with it.

And most of all, do not write what you do not want to write about, I mean, what fun will that be? Blogging is there to help you and to help others if you want it to be. Freedom of Speech is a powerful tool to help you out.

Have fun blogging!!

My Fear - World Population

     I have been thinking over this. The fact that the world's population is ever growing is starting to scare me. I want to be able to grow up in a world that will not result in its own world-wide disaster. I know I am not helping by being part of the population itself but I know that it needs to be set under a control in order for me to calm down. I feel that one day, I will wake to find outside of my window... no trees, no water, no grass space... but houses and trashed markets and dust on the grounds. The population, going at the rate it is, is fueling the fear that I might not be able to move to a country side without  having to push and shove my way to stand on some grass. I know, years are a long time, decades can be a long time, centuries even longer, but what is stopping the population from growing so big that we are forced to live on the arctic lands?
     What worries me most are the living conditions we might have to face with over 7billion living on the planet as we speak now. The conditions of life are not at their worst. This is just the beginning of the rest of our lives. The prices world wide are growing and growing, smacking against roofs we never thought would exist. The food sources now are almost all chemical and no organic traces left beside the basic structure of the processed foods. Only a good bit of years ago, did we start using chemicals throughout foods. I have a teacher that has been fed off of "Real" foods, and she does growing of her own. She said she was not used to the chemicals we put into our dinners. Chicken is not supposed to be over sized and looking as if filled with steroids. Meat in T.V. dinners are not to be floppy and rubbery as if they were edible plastic. Nuggets these days do not even taste like chicken. Also, because we are so used to eating these chemicals in our foods, we are used to it. Next thing you know, the food industries could be putting human remains or other junk into the food and we would never know, because just as the chemicals, we would get used to it.
     Cancer rates have gone up since the chemicals have been getting placed into what we eat. Other chronic diseases are starting to form out of almost nowhere. The weight gain is tremendous and the United states if the fattest country in the World. The U.S. just happens to be the country with the most processed foods too. The downside to this "Free" country, is that there are fatal problems to face other than not enough money for housing and the horrendous crime rates.
     The more space the world's population takes up, the more is being used to feed the population. The housing is getting to be a hassle because of the economy taking a shit. The pollution is getting worse by the second, literally. Why can we not just limit down the amount of people being born? Asians has the right idea. They have passed the law that limits the birth rate of their children down to two per family. Why can we not do that here, or in Mexico, or Africa? The last thing we need is more people born into poverty. Do we need more war, to raise the death rate a little? I do not want more to die with the rate it is happening by, but what will become of us if we do not solve this problem? We have enough dying and killing nature just because we have just too many at a time for one planet to handle.
     This is just but a fear to me, lets not make it a nightmare come true... but then again, what can I do about it?
